I must say, this week was a blast! From the "long walk to water"/water filter event to eating cream puffs and practicing Shakespeare insults--it's been a great week! Please see PHOTOS HERE for photos of it all. I am delighted by these students. They work hard, play hard and have great attitudes. It's a lot of fun to be their teacher!
Great week ahead as we continue to dive into literature practicing close reading (Notice and Note), informational text and story analysis. This is the stuff of an English teacher's dreams and it's so fun with these kids. Thanks again for the continued support. Please contact me with any questions.
